Reuters reported today that Nintendo will deliver a GameCube-based sequel to the hit N64 first-person shooter Perfect Dark in the fall of 2002. The title is well into development at UK based Rare, which also created the franchise.

The company started work on the game as far back as August 2000, according to Nintendo insiders, and has progressed it steadily since.

Nintendo featured a title called Perfect Dark Zero on its online GameCube release list, but pulled the information shortly after it was released, which has led many to believe this could be the official name of the still-secret first-person shooter sequel.

With planned offerings such as Metroid, Raven Blade, perhaps even Zelda and now Perfect Dark Zero, it's becoming obvious that the holiday season 2002 will be tremendous for GameCube owners.
